Accident Claims Management Companies

In the golden age just a few years ago the only place you could go to find recompense and compensation for personal injury claims was the old high street injury solicitor, in fact many people didnt even consider the possibility of claiming personal injury compensation and just let the whole thing slip.

Then toward the tail end of the nineteen nineties we saw the emergence of the accident claims management companies and the appearance of such household names as The Accident Group (TAG) and Claims Direct, both of whom later when on to crash and burn disastrously causing immense embarrassment throughout the industry.

The trading name of Claims Direct ironically has now been bought and taken up by one of the UKs top personal injury solicitor firms, Russell Jones Walker and they have now re-launched the brand. Accident claims management companies have not exactly been a welcome addition to the claims process but what they did do very well was bring a fresh marketing approach to the table and the awareness that personal injury compensation was at the grip of the general public.

Using their natural marketing skills the accident claims management companies were able to expose justice and opportunity of monetary compensation to the British people. The problem came when their model extended from just selling on the claimants they had attracted, they started to get extremely greedy in their part in the whole injury claims process.

Not content with referral fees for passing on the client they started to look at how they could maximise profits from other areas of the claims process such as demanding commissions from medical reporting agencies, solicitors, and charging extortionate fees for insurance products. Out of this scenario the accident claims management companies played a huge role in causing delays in the justice and injury compensation process as the defendant insurers argued continuously about costs.

As a result of years of interference in the claims process the Government and industry leaders have introduced a strict regulating body to deal with the problem of dodgy accident claims management companies, now all claims companies have to register themselves with Ministry of Justice under the Compensation Act. Whilst Talk Once is not a claims management company we have registered the company under the same regulatory body in order to remain compliant with the requirements of law and best practice of the industry in general. When you need a wholly transparent and direct injury claims service you always have Talk Once to call upon.
